I Want to Use "Wagomu" at My Wedding ◎

Wagomu comes in four colors: Shiroai (white indigo), Moegi (fresh green), Momo (peach), and Kurenai (crimson). Each set contains seven pieces of wagomu and is sold for 460 yen per bag.♩ This wagomu is very cute and seems like it would be perfect for a traditional Japanese wedding.

The photo shows a PET bottle of Irohasu, but it would also be perfect for classic petit gift drinks like Martinelli’s or Frura. Just a little extra detail on a cute bottle would make it look even more stylish!♡

Here, wagomu is attached to the bottle lid.* Just rolling it with paper in between makes a very cute arrangement.♡

Warm Item Using Wagomu ③ Catalog Gifts＊

Wagomu can also be added to larger items like catalog gifts.* Simple items like the one in the image become a lovely accent, don’t you think?

Warm Item Using Wagomu ④ Items for Entertainment, etc.＊

I’m not sure what this person is using it for, but it is attached to a bunch of bananas! It would be interesting to use it for small items in entertaining activities, too. Wagomu (rubber bands) can be attached to anything, which is a great feature!＊

Warm Item Using Wagomu ⑤ Twisted Table Number List

This item could also be used as a band to hold a twisted table number list.* Even plain white paper can become instantly festive with just wagomu!♡

Warm Item Using Wagomu ⑥ Items like Cups and Mugs＊

Attaching them to cups and mugs is also a wonderful idea.◎ Even plain paper cups can stylishly transform!♡

Make Wagomu a Highlight at Your Wedding＊

Wagomu is a versatile item that can be used for anything and is so cute!♡ Guests may have never seen such a rubber band before.* Please use wagomu to create a wonderful wedding!◎

【Caution】 As for the meaning of the water-drawing motif, a butterfly knot represents happiness that can happen multiple times (like childbirth), while a single knot represents a once-in-a-lifetime happy event (like a wedding). Since wagomu has a butterfly knot, some people may be concerned about this, so please be cautious.*
